Quote: RLBandit "The way SL has worked over the last few years, can any club really operate with a clear understanding of the consequences? It feels a lot more like its made up as we go along.
Salford ought be absolutely fine, with their backing and in particular with the owner (at least for now) apparently actively engaged in fixing things. My great hope is that it goes even further, and as part of turning Salford into a great club, he successfully lobbies for salary control reforms (note "reforms", not abolishment) in order that he can actually spend as much of his money as he desires.
London? Who knows what the blazes is going on there? I still think we need them in though.
The other two are a bit concerning, but even so, I'm not particularly bothered what grounds look like as long as fans are turning up.'"
At no point you talked about quality on the pitch, which should be the most important factor. The more competitive the game, the more marketable the game equalling the increase in crowds. Do you think in the next three years, any of the sides stated, will be in the top 6? London - No, Wakey - Potential but No, Castleford - No, Salford - Potential with new investment.
